when i go to the repair step and press (R) , it comes for me a hardware problem !!! and BLA BLA BLA !!
Take this machine to someone who is qualified to help you out. You don't seem to be able to explain your problems very well, and if I may be honest, you don't appear to know much about computers.
If you have your original installation media from when you purchased the machine, it should only cost $50-150 to install the OS and diagnose any possible hardware issues.

You formatted and installed windows on D, leaving the recovery partition on C.... Try reformatting and installing Windows on C instead, but you'll lose the recovery, it's obviously booting from C - think about it !!
You are trying to boot Windows from drive D when it's booting from C, may be telling us why you wanted to do this might have saved you some trouble, like a repair install perhaps.
